Devo 7...HELP!!!

Just received my Walkera Genius on Friday. Thinking I might have jumped the gun. I am having problems just getting the thing to hover. Played around with it for a whole day and can get it up for a couple of seconds then it takes off on me and I crash and burn. Nothing has broken yet and I have every intention on sticking with it. Was wondering if anyone has the Devo 7 and can explain to me in Lehmans terms what all the abbreviations mean and some insight on how to set it up so I can actually fly it for more than a few seconds.

I have a 3 channel and a 4 channel Coaxial and I had planned on getting the Walkera CB100, then I came across the Genius on Helipal.com which boasted the 6 axis gyro is great for beginners. It's amazing how easy they make it look to fly. I found a thread on here with setup information and have actually got it to fly around my basement with minimal crashes. All in all I am having a lot of fun with it, it's just a bit touchy and really really fast.

There looks to be some exponential adjustments that can be made on the Devo 7 that will calm the sticks some - you can also adjust the amount of servo travel some. Mine came factory at 100% you can go less, try like 85-80 this should take some of that twitchiness out of the head!

Anyone who has had a Devo 7 for more than 2 Days - Please chime in on this one!

It's been a work in progress but I am def getting better with it. Did some reading and now understand what pitch and throttle curves do, and also adjusted the servo travel to where it's not taking a slam every time I move the sticks. Still having lotsa fun learning and am probably gonna go ahead and order a fixed pitch for good measure.

@Vengence05 In the function menu of the tx there is a trvadjust category. You can go in and adjust the servo travel from there. As far as the throttle and pitch curves, there are a ton of online resources out there, I just googled it and started clicking links and reading. I still have alot to learn, but on a good note, it's been two weeks since I received my genius cp and I am now able to keep it in a good steady hover. Being that I have only ever flown coax helis with rudder control on the right stick, I am feeling pretty good about my progress thus far.

That very good man. This genius is technically my first cp. I bought a v400d02 but never flew it ecause some problems with it when I got it. But when I realized how hard it was gonna be I ordered the genius so I could practice with that first instead of destroying my v400. I am the same as u with progress. I am very good at hovering tail in. This weekend I plan on going ti sn open field and practicing nose in hovering and trying ti fly a square pattern. I can hold it very still while tail on hovering but when I start to fly it or turn it around to nose in y orientation gets screwed up and she crashes hard! Thanks god this little thing is pretty much unbreakable. I ordered one of eery part for mine in case something di break and I am waiting on a brushless main motor, brushed tail motor and the bereft package from hobbywing.com. When I get that it's gon a be awesome!! And thanks for the instructions on adjusting the travel. I will be doing that when I et home today
